Southern Region Retirees Meet in Marion

Jasone's Bed & Breakfast in Marion was the location for a recent meeting of Southern Region IEAFCS retirees. Carol Schlitt, Martha Speir, Janet Burnett, Joyce Pyatt, Ruby Lingle, and Joy Richey enjoyed lunch and a very interesting talk.

Dr. Phillip Anton, Associate Professor of Exercise Science at SIU, and two of his students led a discussion on the Strong Survivor Exercise program for cancer patients and caregivers.

 It is a joint effort between Southern Illinois University, John A. Logan College, and Southern Illinois Health Care. The importance of physical fitness in dealing with the disease is emphasized. An informational flyer is available for anyone who would like more information. Send an e-mail to ieafcslife@gmail.com to request a copy.

Note that the bus trip for this fall is Sept. 3-7 if you missed the earlier notice. We will tour points of interest in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.
